The US Securities and Exchange Commission will launch a cryptocurrency-focused task force to come up with ways to regulate the market, in one of the first moves by the agency after the resignation of crypto skeptic Gary Gensler.

The SEC’s new crypto task force will also coordinate with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) – which, under the leadership of former Chair Gensler and former CFTC Chairman Rostin Behnam, has been locked in competition with the SEC over which agency should be the primary regulator of the crypto industry.

The SEC rolled out a new crypto task force on Tuesday, aimed at helping "draw clear regulatory lines" in the space, the agency said.
